Infamous fan cast

February 7, 2013 by

That's right! There is a film adaptation of the awesome electrical superpowered PS3 games called... Infamous in the works. However don't get your hopes up just yet. The guy who said he will make an adaptation also said he would make several other films like Uncharted like 6 years ago and sometimes they're cancelled.

Even if there isn't a film in development, there could always be a film cast right? So I decided to make a list of who should play the characters.

Character - Cole Macgrath

Cole Macgrath is the main character and after a bomb explosion after delivering a package, his life is changed when he discovers he has electric powers and decides whether he will be Empire City's saviour or it's destroyer.

Actor - Sam Worthington

Why? Well not only does he look very similar to the electric wielding Cole Macgrath but also he is a good actor who has been able to make some terrible films slightly better such as Avatar. Jason Statham would be a close second but I think he's too old to play Cole and I haven't seen much of his films... I know there's one called Transporter?

Character - Zeke "Jebidah" Dunbah

Zeke is Cole's best friend and seems to want superpowers himself and hates the FBI and most government agencies as well as being a supporter of The TV Jacker for a short while. However like Cole, his personality changes throughout the game.

Actor - Andy Kindler

Remember only his mama calls him Jebidah! Same as Sam, he looks similar the character's part. I'm not sure why but a lot of people have had trouble finding an actor that looks like Zeke so they just said people like Alec Bana for some reason. If you don't know who Andy Kindler is, watch some Everybody loves Raymond. Awesome series.

Character - Trish Dailey

Trish is Cole's girlfriend however she becomes distant from Cole believing he was responsible for the bomb attack. Cole's decisions will affect what she thinks of Cole in the end.

Actress - Keira knightely

She has played strong roles which will be able to reflect on his choices throughout the game. I'm not sure what path Cole would choose in the film but it's possible it could be a bit of both good and evil choices and consequences.

Character - Moya Jones

Moya is an FBI agent so she is much hated by Zeke. She guides Cole in bringing the ray sphere which caused the entire events of the game. In return, Cole will be allowed out of the city.

Actress - Shohreh Aghdashloo

We didn't actually see Moya in game. Apart from the comic book sequences, her voices from the phone were pretty much the closest thing to communicating with the character but she looks similar and some Mass Effect people will go crazy. She played one of the people in the helmets.

Character - John White

John is a mysterious guy that disappeared during an effort to find the ray sphere. However he leaves dead drops which are used messages to communicate to people what has happened to him.

Actor - Don Cheadle

This guy has played many secret people who have worked with the government plus he looks like John so I don't see why he wouldn't play as him in an Infamous film. Maybe it's because I've seen only 2 Don films.

Character - Sasha

Sasha is someone who worked with the First Sons with a power secrete a tar that is used as mind control on civilians and harming energy on conduits. However , she had a falling out with the organisation and after the blast, she became the leader of The Reapers.

Actress - Helena Bonham Carter

Reason being is that she tends to play a lot of creppy and dark roles like in Harry Potter and some other films (mostly Tim Burton) which is perfect for the role.

Character - Alden Tate

Alden Tate was the leader of the First Sons who has the power of telekinesis (Moving objects around with the mind and stuff) before Kessler took the throne and became homeless and started an uprising of the Dust Men after the Empire City blast becoming the leader of this new gang.

Actor - Ben Kingsley or Tobin Bell

I'm actually conflicted with this one since these 2 great actors both look similar and would match the roles. Ben Kingsley would be great at the vengeance attitude toward Kessler whereas Tobin Bell would be able to take on a crazed performance.

Character - Kessler

Kessler is the main villain of the game and is also the only villian with a health meter... just to point out. He is responsible for the game's events and the leader of the First Sons in which he has a highly powerful conduit.

Actor - Robert Caryle or Willem Dafoe

One in the middle of the pic BTW.

I had some trouble with this one. A lot of people have said that Bruce Willis could easily play this character but I think it should go to someone else such as Robert Caryle who's played as Hitler and a James Bond villain and sometimes good characters like in the awesome Stargate Universe series... that got cancelled but mostly evil characters or Willem Dafoe like where he played the Green Goblin in Spider - Man (the one in 2002). Both of which have played determined roles before so this will be a like a walk in the park for them but there are a few other actors that could fit to the character's role like Hugh Laurie, Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson. Overall I think Kessler's role would have a big range of actors to choose from which makes it both easy to find actors but difficult to choose.

SPOILERS START!!!

Maybe even Cole's actor but with a voice over.

SPOILERS FINISH!!!

On to the final character...

Character: Voice of Survival or TV Jacker (whatever you want to call him)

An anarchist who gives people advice on how to survive during the blast although Zeke's attitude of him quickly turns when he starts accusing Cole of being a terrorist.

Actor: Brandon T. Jackson

I can see his rapping style changing to a confident villain if he was to play the character although I'm not sure how well The Voice of Survival character would be played out in an Infamous film since he is mostly heard to suit the open world experience of the game but I'm sure they'll include him somehow on the TV's on Zeke's rooftop.

I'm sure that many more people could play these characters but these are just the main actors and actresses I can see easily fitting the roles of the characters.

So there you have it. Do you agree with these suggestions? What actors and actresses would you like playing them?
